Rusco is a male non-anthro Ninetales. He has a curse, but don't pay much attention to that... Let's just say that he needs to do good deeds and that he has an unwilling bond with a lowlife being. This uncommon pokémon is slightly buff and big due to his father being an Arcanine. As an old kyuubi he has a vast spiritual, psychic and elemental power. This Ninetales is a loner and acts resentful, but sustains a facade of politeness. When he gets hotheaded he will act in a reckless, cold and vicious way. This canine hates sour food and is highly curious. This fox is almost always on his own but can be recruited as a sort of mercenary. In party circumstances he is impetuous, silly and with a big hint of vanity. He will lead attacks but when things are starting to get ugly he will try a final all out attack before retreating.

Personality

Mischievous, trickster, vain, prideful, quick-tempered and emotional. This pokémon acts to his own interests, preferring to tag-team if that will achieve him or his "victim" something or by being a team member for hire as a way of living (and regaining some karma). Behind his tough, sarcastic and joker mask he hides a soft, benign and sensible spirit. He's the most amiable lover one could ask for and it's only natural because his canine heritage has the instinct to please those who please him and belong to him. His high sense and definition of loyalty and faithfulness is different from a monogamist, based on the ethical principle of mutual knowledge, consent and truthfulness.

Dislikes: Being left alone, arrogant people, people stealing his Hoshi no Tama.

Background/History

He came from the spiritual world to the mortal realm, seeking the thrill of the earthly pleasures and running from his divine duties, turning himself into a rebel exile.

MARF, more coming soon, MARF!

Relatives/Family

No family known alive. Mother was a Ninetales priestess and father was an Arcanine guard in the spiritual realm but for some reason Rusco denies his origins (although his genes and karma doesn't). Some flings here and there although he's not a relationship seeker. He may be involved with someone currently but will keep them away from work and danger, denying such relationship to strangers. Said so, he doesn't have a mate but lovers, the most important one is a sweet male raccoon from who he is learning the true meaning of love, open relationships & polyamory.

World/Setting

"We all live in a Pokémon World~"

Body

This fox-like Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious gold-amber fur, as well as having nine tails, each one of them is tipped with golden yellow fur. He also has a fluffy crest atop his head and a similar ruff around his neck. The fur color of his chest and underbelly is cream and his ears are chocolate on the outsides and golden on the insides. All his feet are covered with chocolate-colored paw-socks and the soles of his paws are pink (#FFC0CB). He has gleaming cinnabar eyes that are said to give him the power of mind control. A playful, tricky and skillful crimson tongue hangs floppily on his maw, ready to lick. A warm and wet Tyrian Purple nose, royal and sensitive, is the proud mark of his canine heritage.

Clothing

No clothing in feral form. He will wear whatever is needed to keep the shape-shifting masquerade.

Accessories

Sometimes he wears a collar, specially when he is feeling submissive or is with his mistress.His Hoshi no Tama glows in blue and violet tones. He doesn't wear it often out in the open, preferring to hide it in his tails through the use of Illusions. He wears it in rave parties but has to be careful. The last time he lost it he had to grant a favor and lend some of his powers.

Rusco Istar means "Wizard Fox" in an ancient tongue.If translated literally 留守子 意廃り (るすこ いすたり) bears the meaningful name "Absent child, Meaning no longer needed".Anyway, those are still not his true name as, per spiritual warfare rules, "telling an enemy your name gives them an opportunity to capture your soul."
